Hi all,
Yesterday I went for my first chiropractor visit in a very long time. I told him I did not want him to crack my back because of some other health issues, but he did used an activator gun and cracked my neck. It freaked me out and I really didn't like it, but I figured I would tell him not to next time. Anyway, my concern is after I left, about 30 minutes later, I had very sharp icepick-like head pain in my right temple. It happened about 3 or 4 times and almost brought me to my knees. Obviously I freaked out a little, but it did eventually subside. However, today I am experiencing some arm pain and finger pain and swelling. Do you think this is from the neck adjustment? Could my nerves just be irritated? Of course, Dr. Google freaked me out because I kept reading about patients who had strokes after neck adjustments.
Anyone who has been to a chiro and has any advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
